Not even 3 elite shinobis who guard the Hokage can learn the FTG tech and they had Minato teaching them. So if they cannot learn this skill with Minato as the teacher, what are odds one can even learn through reverse-engineering? >.>
Claiming to learn something that cannot be learned. v.v
It's also entirely possible that most people don't have a natural speed high enough to justify using it in battle as well, as Minato was said to be quite speedy without hiraishin.
As well, how many characters besides Orochimaru that might actually be the type (and smart enough) to be able to reverse engineer something so complicated. Canon characters didn't spend their time doing research like that. If an SL character is an engineer/experimenter and has enough experience with seals I don't see why it WOULDN'T be reverse engineerable other than "Hey but it's like REALLY hard to do, man."
But I do prolly agree that it's not likely so many people on SL would have the ability to decipher the jutsu considering how much knowledge you'd have to have of seals (and just being an Uzumaki doesn't really give you a shortcut on knowledge, contrary to what I've seen people doing here.)
